Dreamtime

 I dreamt of the ancestors,

my ancestors,

even the ones I didn't know. 

I have done that, sometimes.

But it makes me wonder

because it would--

is this good? 

Because it feels like they

were welcoming me

to that place that we

eventually see

which right this minute shouldn't be

that close for me.

But when I look at this life

and all its attendant harms

a part of me was ready to 

rest in those arms. 

But maybe they were just checking in. 

Because I'm not ready for checking out. 

They are staying with me, though.

No doubt.
